Only another month to go so I thought we'd better get the new thread up and running smile

I don't know many of this year's contestants so far but I guess we'll get to know them as the show continues. I see there are already comments that some of them have previous dance training.

What a fabulous night of dancing.
Costumes, makeup, everything terrific.

I've voted for Ellie, Angela S and Nigel.
I am thinking that Ellie could take the glitterball. As someone said last week, she can dance any dance she's given.

How could Ellie and Vito not get 4 x 10s for that routine, especially after the Judges' comments?

I noticed that Ellie has some nasty bruises on her arms, Vito is obviously working her hard too. She was very good though.

I had a tear in my eye watching Angela Rippon, she was so light and swivelly and joyful to watch.

I was sorry about the seated bit because it emphasised that she couldn't have managed a whole Charlestown but well done her!!

Enjoyed Nigel and Katya's Cha Cha even though Shirley didn't.

As she pointed out Layton's mistakes and still gave him a 9, I'm waiting for a 9 for Nigel !!

I’m waiting for them to say ‘Well done Dear’ Bless.

Craig seems blinkered towards Angela, when he is so picky with others.

Angela Rippon , overmarked again.!

Her swivels were good, I agree, but as Sara said, lots of sitting down, filling up time not doing fast Charleston.

Angela R definitely overmarked I found it quite dull for a Charleston. .

Good story-telling from Angela R and Kai, and some lovely swivels..... but 9 from Craig?????

I don’t get all the enormous praise for Angela Rippon, too much sitting on the bench for one thing.
Overmarked in my opinion.

If Shirley feels Layton is several points off being perfect then she really shouldn't give him 9.

I like Lauren's hair when it's longer. It really suits her.

I often think the Judges' comments don't match the scores they give.

I can't vote for Layton, though, because of all the reasons given before.

Layton is near perfect, but I’ll not vote for him this week.

I'm not a Halloween fan in general, but as a long time fan of Strictly I love to see all the costumes & make up!
Enjoying this week so far.

I'll sound like a stuck record. Layton for me is the full package.
